Our last Heartbeat Saturday in this season!

Is leadership about the grit, passion, resources, intellectual capacities, talents, gifts, emotional balance, maturity, directness, personality traits, virtues? What's the difference between management and leadership? Does everyone have a potential for leadership? How to cultivate a life where leadership skills can flourish and be exercised? What is Christian leadership? What kind of leaders were the saints? How to build leadership teams in faith communities? Am I a leader, a follower or part of a passive opposition? What possibilities and opportunities of development do lay Catholic leaders have in the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching ministries? What does it take to pioneer a Catholic lay ministry?

9:00 Prayer, praise and worship, testimonies

What is worship? Is our worship becoming banal and superficial? How to renew your mind and enter into the Presence by applying tools of creativity, innovation, and imagination.

What is the place of sacred music and praise and worship in the Church? What has chanting to do with the presence of God? How singing Lectio Divina will take you to another level of immersion in the Word. 

This Saturday we will be talking about music, praise, worship, chanting, creating, singing, and heaven on earth. This is the only Heartbeat Saturday where all visitors (those whoa re not students of Stone to Flesh School of the Heart) can stay longer (you have to pay for lunch), till 2:30pm.  This day will be super beneficial for all singers and musicians, praise and worship leaders, choir and parish music directors as well as all creatives who ache for the renewal of arts, including sacred arts, that will impact the current culture. 

All young adult leaders who desire to lead a liturgical renewal that draws people into the active cooperation with the Holy Spirit should show up for practical tips on how the beauty of the Word and singing can build a local community of belivers.

Freedom: Healing and Deliverance in the iWorld

You have heard many talks on the topic of healing and deliverance. You want to walk in the power of God, humbly and confidently. You despise triumphalism but you realize that you have not entered into the threshold of the supernatural activity of God in your own life, in your family life, at your work, school or community and you wonder if all the drama of the Book of Acts and the lives of the saints should become the 'normal' in your life. The pros and cons of the expectations are constantly battling in your mind but you know that "For the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power." 1 Cor 4:20
